The '''Starchart''' is one of the most important tools in a spacer's life. It will tell you where you are situated in the sector from most places (with a few exceptions).
The '''Starchart''' is one of the most important tools in a spacer's life. It will tell you where you are situated in the sector from most places (with a few exceptions).


On the map you see displayed, each [[Directions|zone]] in the sector is represented by a single character, and zones that are grouped in the same [[subsector]] are colored similarly. See the [[Directions]] page for more on zones and the layout of the sector.

The STARCHART command can be modified by adding on the name of a zone, planet or station, for example: STARCHART GALLEN will show the location of the Gallen zone (as this is a named star system) with a yellow X, and your own location with a red X:

|Contains the [[Black Hole|Black Holes]], [[Vai]], and the [[Y'saari]]-owned Khayrat Station - an [[Irill]] mining facility owned by the Khayrat Syndicate. It orbits a black hole in the Vai system, which has two remaining planets - Sae and Daj (AKA 'Nyd', though this is not officially recognized) - that are in semi-stable orbit around the black hole. In several million years the planets will be pulled over the black hole's event horizon and be consumed by it. The Irill mined by the station comes from these planets.

Once home to a grand civilization of a free people, this planet was taken over by an invading fleet of [[Bushraki]] and [[Humans]], and the [[Oescus]] race now suffers under the yoke of slavery. Its capital of Dhewa is the central operational hub for these activities.<br>'''The Elonova System is home to two planets, Prosabel I and II, with moons [[Jelxis]] and [[Isoxis]] in orbit around [[Prosabel II]].'''<br>[[Thait]] is a small colony of [[Jin]] and [[Elgan]] on Prosabel II, founded less than a century ago. The colonists live on a small, rocky continent north of the planet's equator, which features verdant foliage growing along the maze-like cliffs and canyons formed of a stone much like limestone. As well as people, it is home to flourishing colonies of [[Moss Lizard]]s, [[:Horned lapine|lapine]]s and [[rosewing]]s.
